Chartham Park...

Well I shot loads. That's the long and short of it really. I was surprised as my session at the driving range went pretty well last night. I hit a lot of great shots and really started to feel comfortable on my downswing.

I actually drove the ball quite nicely today. In fact, in terms of ball striking, everything was pretty solid. It was just the accuracy side of things. I am missing a whole bunch of shots left and this is a real worry as I really don't seem to be able to sort this out. I'm not convinced that I'm always coming over the top. For some reason I am getting my clubface really shut unnecessarily. It's not like im starting shots right of my target. They start straight, or left even, and then curve left. This has kind of been a long term habit as I always used to get stuck on my downswing and then have to flip my wrists to square my clubface. With any luck if I continue to swing down on a better line, this may well correct itself.

My short game was much better tonight. I didn't stub one chip shot and got up and down a good few times!! This was nice. I'm basically focusing on getting my weight on my left side to start with and then I have to be really careful not to slide my hips and throw my upper body backwards which has been causing me to duff my chip shots.

I leave tonights blog there, as I'm away to Glastonbury tomorrow and therefore am going to forget about golf for a few days. I'll hit the range next monday before playing on tuesday and wednesday. I'll continue to work on these things i've been working on, as I feel I am definitely heading in the right direction.....
